Has signed on a one year deal. He is certainly in the right mould for what we are after, hopefully he can gel quickly.
Welcome to the club, Dele! |  | | |  |

OMG , this really smacks of a last ditch panic signing to me . I really thought the days of Spotland being the final refuge for old pros was past after the Hill/Flitcroft era ; this is certainly not the kind of signing I could ever imagine them countenancing . Neither is it consistent with Coleman's normal transfer policy that has primarily been based on youth in his past roles . It feels like I've been transported back through time to the desparate days of the late 80's/early 90's with Ernie Moss demonstrating his lack of pace on a regular basis .
Presumably the guy has not had a full pre-season , which at 37 , Iguess would leave him a couple of months of full fitness , and he's failed to secure a contract at Burton , who were down among the dead men last year .
I hate to be negative , but I see nothing positive about this ; how many successful teams these days operate with a big immobile lump up front ; size can be important , but in the modern game mobility is more critical surely ?
If this is the best that the alleged war chest can afford , then perhaps its time for someone to acknowledge we've either been misled , or a degree of exaggeration was applied . I have rarely felt so down , even in the darkest days when at least we expected no better .
Apologies for the negativity - I'll sit back now and wait to be shot down for not giving DA a chance ! |
Perhaps the money wasn't right at Burton. |  | | |

I think I'm happy. We don't need him to be quick, or even to score that many goals. What we do need is someone who can hold it up and bring the likes of Donnelly, Grimes, Gray, Tutte etc into play. I bet Donnelly and Grimed are looking forward to playing off him. Added to that he's about 6 weeks older than me.
Come to think of it maybe I could be the big man up front if he gets injured or needs a rest. |
Oi, Burnley. You've been Grimed! |  | | |

A big target man is only about goals it's the link up play |  | | |

They need to be scouse so they can understand what JC is saying as the club won't stump up for an interpreter! | | | |

we have been crying out for a target man.
if adebola is willing to show a high work rate then his experience could be a serious asset.
a couple of wingers and we just might be ready

Can't believe some of you are complaining about the signing to be honest.
Loads of experience, decent strike rate, and big and nasty enough to be a problem for L2 defences. Gives you something different, I think that's a very good signing. | | | |
